Nice work CooperHawkes! Looking forward to the next version! One thing I would like to see in the GUI is the abillity to show/hide the side panel with some easy to access button or something similar. Would be nice to be able to do that while working on the terrain for us with small 17" screen.

It should be plain easy…
Move your mouse over a vertex. You will see a coloured area. Allso, a ‘widget’ should pop up (a cylinder with an arrow on top). Make sure the arrow gets coloured, not the cylinder. When you are that far, drag click it and drag the arrow up.
Selecting the disc will deform the terrain if you drag it up, down and left.

Thanks 4 explaining, kamikazee 
@Lanz: You can undock the side panel by dragging at the small handle bar on top of the panel… this won’t give you maximum space for the 3d window, but at least it is much more than usual.
@König: terrain blending will be supported… however, not in the upcoming version… FATE 0.13 will still produce the automatic dotproduct/alpha blended terrain patches, like in 0.12.
@flower.Hercules: it’s standard gnome running on a debian box. but this is only because i forgot to install windowmaker

CooperHawkes: Woah, was I way off. Openbox has almost the exact same theme except without the left side titlebar button.
Back to topic:)

Just move your mouse over the grey widget… either the arrow or the disc should turn red. Then drag the arrow or the disc with the mouse.
Or… are you running your desktop in 16bit color mode? There is a bug if you run FATE with less than 24bits!
[EDIT]
16bit mode bug is fixed now
BTW: does anyone know a good / free / cross platform installer software? I know, that are 3 wishes at once… but… hey… Xmas is coming soon

One that is good and free, though not cross platform is Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/ 2 out of 3 is not that bad…

It may be possible to write a self-extracting Bash-script (it should only use tar and bash)
I haven’t tried myself, but I’ll give it a go this weekend.

:O) ofc i had 16bit mode 
EDIT: Ok i made map and added all things so i could test it. But textures are blue? Whats this? I added own textures and they look at Gtk fine.

The problem with the installer is that I want it to install into two different locations… one is for FATE itself and the other is for the ET content files… but I already have an idea how to solve that… I hope this doesn’t give me grey hairs

Eventually make a .zip first, and if someone finds the time he could make an installer?

If you are so keen to try out the (hopefully bug-free) release candidate for 0.13:
http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/~rose/stuff/fate/files/FATE_0_13_alpha_RC1_Win32_update.zip
This is an inofficial update, i.e. you need 0.12 and you have to replace the old files with the 3 files in the zip archive.
Sorry Linux folks! I had much less time this week than expected… So please bear with me… I hope I’ll be able to release an official version of 0.13 for win32 and linux on sunday.
Thanks for your patience!

Well…it isn’t like we have much of an alternative but to wait 
Unless we want to free-hand it — at least you are working for a release…unlike ydnar who has no working links and offers no alternative to getting the latest release of q3map.

I used .12 the other day and tested some things…I think it’s brilliant. The bugs are bearable as long as I save every minute…

doh! stupid me!
while playing around with the installer stuff i wiped some of my source files 
therefore, i lost most of the latest changes necessary for linux support sniff
well, let’s see what i can get out of the backups… i am such a moron.

Finally… version 0.13 is out… for Win32 and Linux.
Sorry that it took me so long
Now hurry up and grab it here: http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/~rose/stuff/fate/download.html
@Linux users:
I hope the linux installer is working correctly and everything is installed at the right place. I wasn’t able to test it with the latest q3map2, because it seems noone hosts a mirror for q3map2 2.5.16 for linux
In case you get an error message concerning the shaderlist.txt while exporting the map file, be sure to place a copy of the shaderlist.txt into ~/.etwolf/etmain/scripts

thx for not forgetting the linux mappers!
i am downloading it now.
one correction for your site allready, i have to install is with only sh blablabla.run
(no ./)
EDIT:
the start up took LONG
not just typing fate in cosole but first a lot of hard disk activity.
going to test the map part right now.
EDIT 2: second startup went faster. tomorrow i might need it to generate some mountains. will post the results from exporting then.
